We will need to roll at 9:00 since the procession
is leaving the funeral home at 9:30am – this gives us plenty of flex time

I plan to be at the Wal-Mart by 7:30am just to get
ready so if anyone else shows up early I will be there.

From the Wal-Mart we will proceed north on
Plainfield Pike roughly 1 mile and take a left on Pippin Orchard Road Cranston,
RI
The services will be held at http://mail.patriotguard.org/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?address=800%2520Pippin%2520Orchard%2520Rd%26city=Cranston%26state=RI%26zipcode=02921%252d3603%26country=US%26title=%253cb%253e800%2520Pippin%2520Orchard%2520Rd%253c%252fb%253e%253cbr%2520%252f%253e%2520Cranston%252c%2520RI%252002921%252d3603%252c%2520%2520US%26cid=lfmaplink2%26name=” target=”_blank

We will have a safety briefing before we leave the
parking lot and proceed in a staggered position.
We ask members participating to bring flags you can
hold and flags that are attached to motorcycles.
Many members make light weight flag poles from pvc
and attach 3×5 American flags to them and then
they are attached to back rests as well as smaller flags on the bike. You also can attend
in a pov (4 wheel) also

Here are some pictures from the Mission we attended
in Maine two weeks ago. http://www.edjszalajeski.com/sgtdan

honoring this Marine with you

PROVIDENCE — Two Marines from Southern New England have died while serving in Iraq.
A 22-year-old Marine from West Warwick was killed when the truck in which he was riding rolled over during a flash flood.
Marine Cpl. Brian St. Germain died Sunday in the accident in Al Anbar Province while serving his second tour of duty in Iraq, the governor’s office said Tuesday.
Four other Marines were also killed in the flash flood.
Gov. Don Carcieri ordered state flags flown at half-staff until after memorial services are held.
“Cpl. St. Germain, along with every man and woman in America’s armed forces, deserves our respect and gratitude for his deep commitment to the nation,” Carcieri said in a statement.
St. Germain graduated from West Warwick High School in 2001. He was described as a hardworking honors student who was an all-state hurdler on the school’s track and field team.
“His junior year, they had one of the best track teams ever in West Warwick, and he was a star on that,” said William Izzi, the high school’s guidance department chair and one of St. Germain’s track coaches.
Izzi called St. Germain a “wonderful boy from a wonderful family.”
St. Germain joined the Marine Corps in May 2004 and was working as a heavy equipment mechanic and a martial arts instructor, according to a Web site for car enthusiasts, j-body.org
On the Web site, he lists his hobbies and interests as “working on my truck, 4-wheeling and shooting stuff.” He also said he was involved in a long-term relationship.
St. Germain belonged to the 1st Marine Logistics Group, 1st Marine Expeditionary Group in Camp Pendleton, Calif. He was promoted to corporal during his first tour in Iraq, according to the governor’s office.
